Environmental management practices among hotels in China

This study investigates the environmental management practices among different categories of hotels in China. Existing literature on hotels' environmental management practices provided the theoretical underpinning for the study. Using the stratified sampling method, a sample of 52 hotel managers from the various categories of hotels in region completed questionnaires for the study. A test of the hypothesis using the Chi-Square Method supported the fact that larger hotels (Three to five star) were at the forefront of adopting and practicing environmental management policies. In addition, the policies were geared towards achieving safe, clean and healthy environments.
